Pruning is a rewarding activity for the experienced gardener. A well pruned shrub has good shape and balance, is healthy and vigorous, and flowers better than its neglected neighbour. Good pruning enhances leaf shape, size and colour, and allows the gardener to maximize the decorative effects of his ornamental shrubs. But which shrubs to prune, and how, and when? Time and method are critical. Not all shrubs need to be pruned every year: without proper guidance, damaging mistakes are all too easily made. This book explains the basic principles of pruning, and shows how easily they can be applied to a wide range of pupular shrubs. Advice is given shrub-by-shrub, to enable even the beginner to prune with confidence.

Moment of Christ: The Path of Meditation

"Learning to meditate is the most practical thing in the world. You require only one quality when you begin. That is seriously to want to learn to mediate."The central message of the New Testament is that there is really only one prayer and that this prayer is the prayer of Christ. It is a prayer that continues in our heart day and night. John Main describes this prayer as the stream of love that flows constantly between Jesus and his Father. This stream of love is the Holy SpiritIt is John Main's conviction that is it the most important task for any fully human life that we should become as open as possible to this stream of love. In order for us to do this we must learn a way that is a way of silence - of stillness - and this by a discipline that is most demanding.John Main talks about the many aspects of silent prayer: the way of the mantra, leaving distraction behind, fullness of life in love and silence. A striking feature of the book is its emphasis on simplicity, on transcending self-consciousness and moving beyond "techniques" of prayer.

The Present Christ: Further Steps in Meditation

The Heart of Creation includes John Main's treatment of themes which are important to everyone concerned with deepening their spiritual life:-- our need for a spiritual discipline and how to cope with its challenge-- how to see the fruits of prayer in daily life-- solitude and community for those living in the world-- how meditation deepens our relationship with Christ-- the contemplative experience as the meeting-point of religions.

John Main reintroduced the lost practice of contemplative prayer to the church in the West. In what was a radical departure 40 years ago, he formed a new kind of Benedictine community to which lay people came to learn the art of meditative prayer. This, like his other bestselling books, is made up of the simple and inviting talks he gave to many hundreds of groups right up until his death in 1982. Today, through the worldwide network he founded (the World Community for Christian Meditation) people in all walks of life are discovering the transformative power of being silent before God. The prayer of silence is pure prayer where we lay aside our own agendas, the words and notions by which we confine and limit God, and we allow Gods mysterious and silent presence within us to become not only a reality, but the reality that gives meaning shape and purpose to everything we do, everything we are.

The Way of Unknowing: Expanding Spiritual Horizons Through Meditation

Many thousands of people across the world have found their spiritual lives enriches by the daily practice of Christian meditation, the method of silent prayer taught by Benedictine monk John Main. It is a tradition which draws on the ancient wisdom of the Bible, the Hindu Upanishads and the early Christian Desert Fathers.John Main wrote several books on contemplative prayer before he died in 1982, but this collection is the only one to draw the essence of all his teachings into one volume. Paul Harris has devotedly selected the essential extracts from each of John Main's works and arranged them here in an attractive and practical daily readings format.
